Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -They basically consider human nature to be the product of one’s environment. An example of behaviorism is when teachers reward their class or certain students with a party or special treat at the end of the week for good behavior throughout the week. The same concept is used with punishments.

Detailed explanation-2: -Operant Conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behaviour in other words it is a type of learning in which an individual’s behaviour is modified by its consequences or the response the behaviour gets. The behaviour may change in form, frequency, or strength.

Detailed explanation-3: -Punishment is considered by some behavioral psychologists to be a “primary process” – a completely independent phenomenon of learning, distinct from reinforcement. Others see it as a category of negative reinforcement, creating a situation in which any punishment-avoiding behavior (even standing still) is reinforced.

Detailed explanation-4: -Among behavior scientists, reward is often used to describe an event that increases the probability or rate of a behavior when the event is contingent on the behavior. In this usage reward is a synonym of reinforcement.
